Happy Birthday, Stephen!

Born today in1941, one of the great popularizers and thinkers in evolutionary theory. I've taken him to task for not knowing what he was talking about when he talked about grammar, and I think he was a bit prone to constructing straw men which gave ID'ers an apparent foothold - apparent, I repeat - but Gould was a brilliant man and theoretician whose life's work was an immense contribution to the education of the public and refinement of the modern synthesis of evolution. He is missed.
